Previs:
- Just tweaked a shot or two where the eyetrace wasn't matching up. I also added some more frames to a few shots
- Chris Larsen is now helping out with animation :)
- I did an animation run test of the rockrich!
- I created another slideshow that I will present when doing the animation launch to get the animators up to speed
- I took notes on each shot for what I want to tell the animators. I wrote things down like the main ideas of each shot, the emphasis of each shot, what the character is thinking, and things such as continuity and eye trace
- Finished assigning shots and the order in which I'll assign them
- The rockrich is finished and has been attached to the rig!
- Props will begin next.
- I met up with Kallan Nishimoto at Flytrap Studios in Oakland and presented my short. He offered to do the music and sound effects for my thesis!!! I am so stoked because he also did the music for Tonko House's latest short "Moom"! It will be great to get professional help. It's so nice of him to help me! I feel so lucky :)
- I picked the final outfit design! Darlene did an amazing job.
- I'm meeting with VisDev this Friday and I may possibly have a new art director :)
- I learned about creating image planes in Maya and they will help IMMENSELY with my project! Here is more info.
